Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent detection technology for coal mine fully mechanized mining equipment, specifically to a method and system for damage identification of scraper conveyors based on the fusion of micromagnetism and three-dimensional point cloud. Background Technology

[0002] During operation, critical components of scraper conveyors experience wear and damage. During damage detection, coal sludge and residual moisture adhering to the component surfaces can cause specular reflection of the structured light projected by the vision sensor, resulting in data interference and reducing the signal-to-noise ratio of multimodal data acquisition.

[0003] When using multiple sensors to acquire multimodal data, the magnetic signal data and 3D point cloud data acquired by different types of sensors deviate in both time and spatial coordinate systems. Due to fluctuations in equipment operating speed and mechanical assembly offsets, it is difficult to achieve accurate spatial coordinate registration and time synchronization of data from different sensors, leading to errors in subsequent data association and fusion.

[0004] Wear and indentation on the surface of key components of scraper conveyors can cause changes in the spatial leakage magnetic field, resulting in baseline drift and distortion of the extracted magnetic signal features. When uncompensated and calibrated feature data is input into the classification model, it is difficult to accurately determine the specific damage type of the component, thus limiting the accuracy of damage identification and spatial positioning in scraper conveyors.

[0005] Therefore, this invention proposes a method and system for damage identification of scraper conveyors that integrates micromagnetism and three-dimensional point cloud to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method and system for damage identification of scraper conveyors by fusing micromagnetic signals and three-dimensional point clouds. This solves the problems of interference from structured light specular reflection caused by residual water film on the surface of key components of scraper conveyors in multimodal data acquisition, inability to achieve coordinate registration and time synchronization between magnetic signal data and three-dimensional point cloud data due to fluctuations in equipment operating speed and mechanical assembly offsets, and errors in damage classification results caused by baseline drift of leakage magnetic field due to surface wear and depressions.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] The first aspect of this invention provides a method for damage identification of scraper conveyors by fusing micromagnetic data with three-dimensional point clouds, including micromagnetic data acquisition, point cloud data acquisition, data preprocessing, feature extraction, data fusion, damage identification, and spatial localization. The specific steps are as follows: The system monitors the real-time operating current value of the scraper conveyor drive motor and compares it with the set no-load current threshold. When the real-time operating current value is less than or equal to the no-load current threshold and the duration reaches the set time threshold, the system determines that the scraper conveyor is in no-load inspection state and sends a linkage trigger command to the self-cleaning device. The self-cleaning device receives the linkage trigger command and sprays high-pressure fluid onto the surface of key components to peel off the adhering substances and expose the metal substrate of the key components. The self-cleaning device then activates the high-pressure air knife to blow and dry the surface of the metal substrate.

[0009] When the system determines that it has the conditions for multimodal high signal-to-noise ratio acquisition, the system simultaneously activates the micro-magnetic scanning and three-dimensional point cloud acquisition process. The system uses a magnetic sensing device based on the giant magnetoresistance effect to acquire magnetic signal data on the surface of key components. The magnetic sensing device arranges multiple giant magnetoresistance sensors at equal intervals along the width direction of the scraper. The giant magnetoresistance sensors use cobalt-based amorphous wires as sensitive elements and continuously acquire magnetic signal data on the surface of key components. The system generates a synchronous pulse trigger signal and transmits the synchronous pulse trigger signal in parallel to the line laser and the high-speed industrial camera. The line laser receives the synchronous pulse trigger signal, generates structured light stripes, and projects them onto the surface of the key components. The high-speed industrial camera receives the synchronous pulse trigger signal, opens the shutter, and captures the structured light stripes to form a laser stripe image.

The system extracts timestamp data of the starting and ending magnetic spatial anchor points and calculates the time difference. The system extracts 3D coordinate data of the starting and ending geometric spatial anchor points and calculates the spatial distance. Combining the time difference and spatial distance, the system performs linear velocity interpolation to generate the average speed value of the chain link. The system extracts the mechanical assembly offset parameters between the scraper component and the chain link. Combining the average speed value of the chain link and the mechanical assembly offset parameters, the system performs spatial mapping interpolation to generate the absolute spatial position coordinates. The system establishes a correlation mapping matrix between the high-frequency damage signal and the 3D point cloud data in the same 3D coordinate system.

[0013] The system reads 3D point cloud data and performs point cloud downsampling to generate target point cloud data points. The system calculates the surface normal vector parameters, principal curvature parameters, and Gaussian curvature parameters of the target point cloud data points. It extracts locally flat point clouds that conform to the outer contour features of the key component's reference model as rigid edge point clouds of the unworn area. The system performs spatial registration with the coordinates of the key component's reference model. The system calculates the surface indentation depth parameters and splices the surface normal vector parameters, principal curvature parameters, Gaussian curvature parameters, and surface indentation depth parameters to generate a geometric feature vector. The system performs inverse threshold compensation calculation on the high-frequency damage signal based on the magnetic coupling compensation coefficient and the surface indentation depth parameters to generate a corrected high-frequency signal.

[0014] The system extracts the peak-to-peak value, root mean square value, amplitude gradient parameters, spectral energy parameters, and center frequency parameters of the corrected high-frequency signal to generate magnetic feature vectors. The system extracts aligned coordinate data based on the correlation mapping matrix and matches and merges geometric and magnetic feature vectors with the same absolute spatial coordinates. The system then concatenates the weighted magnetic features and weighted geometric features to generate a joint feature vector.

[0015] The system will input the joint feature vector into the target support vector machine classification model to generate damage classification results. The system will combine the absolute spatial position coordinates to generate damage position mapping records. The system will acquire the sprocket rotation angle data collected by the rotary encoder and generate global spatial three-dimensional coordinates. The system will bind the global spatial three-dimensional coordinates with the damage classification results to generate visualized damage location label data.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See attached document Figure 1 This invention provides a method for damage identification of scraper conveyors based on the fusion of micromagnetic data and 3D point clouds. This method is applied to a scraper conveyor damage identification system based on the fusion of micromagnetic data and 3D point clouds, and includes micromagnetic data acquisition, point cloud data acquisition, data preprocessing, feature extraction, data fusion, damage identification, and spatial localization. The specific steps are as follows: S1. The system monitors the real-time operating current value of the scraper conveyor drive motor and compares it with the set no-load current threshold. When the real-time operating current value is less than or equal to the no-load current threshold and the duration reaches the set time threshold, the system determines that the scraper conveyor is in no-load inspection state and sends a linkage trigger command to the self-cleaning device. The self-cleaning device receives the linkage trigger command and sprays high-pressure fluid onto the surface of key components to peel off the adhering substances and expose the metal substrate of the key components. Subsequently, the self-cleaning device activates a high-pressure air knife to blow and dry the surface of the metal substrate to eliminate the structured light specular reflection interference caused by the residual water film on the surface.

[0023] ; In the formula, This indicates the trigger flag for no-load inspection status. Represents the real-time operating current value; Represents the no-load current threshold; This represents the duration during which the real-time operating current value is less than or equal to the no-load current threshold. This represents the time threshold.

[0024] S2, when When the value equals 1, the system determines that it has the conditions for multimodal high signal-to-noise ratio acquisition. The system reads the spatial distance parameter between the high-pressure air knife and the observation field of the line laser, and calculates the current running speed of the scraper conveyor by combining the pulse frequency output by the rotary encoder in real time. The system calculates the surface purging safety waiting time and delays the surface purging safety waiting time after the self-cleaning device is activated. The system simultaneously activates the micro-magnetic scanning and three-dimensional point cloud acquisition process. The system uses a magnetic sensing device based on the giant magnetoresistance effect to collect magnetic signal data on the surface of key components. The magnetic sensing device arranges multiple giant magnetoresistance sensors at equal intervals along the width direction of the scraper. The giant magnetoresistance sensors use cobalt-based amorphous wire as the sensitive element and set the excitation frequency to continuously collect magnetic signal data on the surface of key components from 1MHz to 10MHz.

[0025] The system drives the magnetic sensing device to input an AC excitation current into the cobalt-based amorphous wire of the giant magnetoresistive sensor and generate an alternating magnetic field in the cobalt-based amorphous wire. The alternating magnetic field produces a skin effect on the surface of the cobalt-based amorphous wire and forms a skin depth. Defects inside the key components generate a spatial leakage magnetic field. The spatial leakage magnetic field changes the permeability of the cobalt-based amorphous wire, and the change in permeability causes a change in the skin depth.

[0026] ; In the formula, Represents skin depth; Represents the resistivity of cobalt-based amorphous wire; Represents pi; The frequency of the alternating current excitation current; This represents the permeability of a cobalt-based amorphous filament.

[0027] The change in skin depth causes a change in the impedance value of the giant magnetoresistive sensor. The system extracts the impedance change and converts it into a voltage signal. The system performs analog-to-digital conversion on the voltage signal and samples and stores it as magnetic signal data.

[0028] The system generates a synchronous pulse trigger signal, which is then transmitted in parallel to the line laser and the high-speed industrial camera via hardware cables.

[0029] A line laser receives a synchronous pulse trigger signal to generate structured light stripes and projects them onto the surface of a key component. The line laser projects structured light stripes with a wavelength of 650nm and a power of 10mW to 50mW. A high-speed industrial camera receives the synchronous pulse trigger signal, opens the shutter to expose and capture the structured light stripes to form a laser stripe image. The high-speed industrial camera captures the structured light stripes with a frame rate of 1000fps to 5000fps.

[0030] ; In the formula, This represents the time difference between synchronous triggering; This represents the shutter opening time of a high-speed industrial camera. The time points at which the representative line laser generates structured light fringes.

[0031] S3. The system extracts the laser stripe image captured by the high-speed industrial camera. The system performs grayscale conversion on the laser stripe image and uses the grayscale centroid method to extract the center pixel coordinates of the structured light stripe. The system calculates the three-dimensional spatial depth value mapped by the center pixel coordinates based on the triangulation principle.

[0032] ; In the formula, Represents the depth value in three-dimensional space; The baseline distance between the line laser and the high-speed industrial camera; The focal length represents that of a high-speed industrial camera. Represents the center pixel coordinates; Represents the reference coordinates of the image center of a high-speed industrial camera.

[0033] The system acquires 3D spatial depth values ​​and, based on the pre-calibrated intrinsic and extrinsic parameter matrix of a high-speed industrial camera, maps the center pixel coordinates and 3D spatial depth values ​​to 3D coordinates of key component surface points in the world coordinate system. The system then aggregates these 3D coordinates to generate 3D point cloud data.

[0034] S4. The system acquires magnetic signal data and performs data preprocessing. The system converts the time-domain magnetic signal data into frequency-domain data using a fast Fourier transform. The system uses a low-pass filter and sets a low-pass cutoff frequency to perform low-pass filtering on the frequency-domain data. The system performs an inverse fast Fourier transform on the low-pass filtered frequency-domain data to generate a low-frequency positioning signal. The system uses a high-pass filter and sets a high-pass cutoff frequency to perform high-pass filtering on the frequency-domain data. The system performs an inverse fast Fourier transform on the high-pass filtered frequency-domain data to generate a high-frequency damage signal.

[0035] The system employs a wavelet soft thresholding algorithm to denoise high-frequency damage signals. The system selects wavelet basis functions and sets the number of decomposition levels to perform wavelet decomposition on the high-frequency damage signals to extract approximation coefficients and detail coefficients. The system uses a soft thresholding function to shrink the detail coefficients according to the set fixed threshold to generate target detail coefficients. The system merges the approximation coefficients and target detail coefficients and performs inverse wavelet transform reconstruction to generate the final high-frequency damage signal.

[0036] S5. The system generates a data time hysteresis compensation amount by performing a division operation based on the installation spacing parameters of the micro-magnetic sensor array and the line laser in the running direction of the scraper conveyor, combined with the average speed value of the chain links. It then performs offset compensation on the timestamps of the magnetic signal data to achieve initial macroscopic coarse alignment. Subsequently, the system reads the low-frequency positioning signal and performs first-order difference calculation according to the time series to obtain the signal gradient value sequence. The system identifies the zero-crossing points in the signal gradient value sequence where the values ​​change from positive to negative, extracts the timestamp data corresponding to the zero-crossing points, and records them as magnetic spatial anchor points. The system sequentially extracts the magnetic spatial anchor points corresponding to two adjacent scraper components along the time series, defining the earlier magnetic spatial anchor point in the time series as the starting magnetic spatial anchor point and the later magnetic anchor point in the time series as the ending magnetic spatial anchor point.

[0037] Because the metal volume of the scraper component of the scraper conveyor is much larger than that of ordinary chain links, when the scraper passes through the micro magnetic sensor array, its large volume of ferromagnetic material causes a violent alternation of the macroscopic spatial leakage magnetic field; at this time, the rate of change of magnetic flux reaches an extreme value, which in a sense represents the geometric symmetry plane of the scraper passing orthogonally through the cross section of the sensor array, thereby establishing an equivalent mapping relationship between the low-frequency micro magnetic zero-crossing point and the mechanical center of the scraper.

[0038] The system reads 3D point cloud data and performs height difference calculations in the running direction of the scraper conveyor to generate a height gradient matrix. The system compares the elements in the height gradient matrix with a set gradient threshold and extracts abrupt coordinate data points that exceed the threshold. The system then uses these abrupt coordinate data points to fit and generate a scraper component contour model. The system calculates the center 3D coordinates of the scraper component contour model and records them as geometric space anchor points. The system extracts geometric space anchor points that match the two adjacent scraper components, defining the geometric space anchor point in the forward running direction as the starting geometric space anchor point and the geometric space anchor point in the backward running direction as the ending geometric space anchor point.

[0039] The system extracts the timestamp data of the starting and ending magnetic space anchor points and calculates the time difference. The system extracts the three-dimensional coordinate data of the starting and ending geometric space anchor points and calculates the spatial distance. The system extracts the high-frequency pulse subdivision data output by the rotary encoder, and performs linear velocity interpolation calculation by combining the spatial distance value and the time difference value to generate the average speed value of the chain link. The system reads the sampling timestamp of the high-frequency damage signal. The system extracts the mechanical assembly offset parameters between the scraper component and the chain link. The system combines the average speed value of the chain link and the mechanical assembly offset parameters to perform spatial mapping interpolation calculation to generate the absolute spatial position coordinates.

[0040] ; In the formula, Represents absolute spatial position coordinates; Three-dimensional coordinate data representing the initial geometrical anchor point; Represents spatial distance value; Represents the time difference; The sampling timestamp represents the high-frequency damage signal; Timestamp data representing the initial magnetic space anchor point; This represents the mechanical assembly offset parameter.

[0041] Among them, mechanical assembly offset parameters Specifically, this is characterized by the fixed installation error between the symmetry center plane of the scraper and the scanning section of the micro-magnetic sensor array, as well as the static tolerance of the mechanical assembly between the chain link and the scraper.

[0042] The system inputs the absolute spatial position coordinates into the coordinate system of the three-dimensional point cloud data for overlap matching calculation. The system establishes an association mapping matrix between the high-frequency damage signal and the three-dimensional point cloud data in the same three-dimensional coordinate system. The system outputs the association mapping matrix to complete the coordinate registration and time synchronization of the magnetic signal data and the three-dimensional point cloud data.

[0043] S6. The system reads 3D point cloud data and performs point cloud downsampling to generate target point cloud data points. The system uses principal component analysis to calculate the surface normal vector parameters of the target point cloud data points. Based on the surface normal vector parameters, the system calculates the principal curvature parameters and Gaussian curvature parameters of the target point cloud data points, and uses the calculated surface normal vector parameters, principal curvature parameters, and Gaussian curvature parameters as surface parameters.

[0044] The system reads the coordinates of the key component's reference model. It sets a curvature change rate threshold and a flatness threshold, and filters the target point cloud data points based on surface normal vector parameters and Gaussian curvature parameters. Locally flat point clouds that conform to the outer contour characteristics of the key component's reference model are extracted as rigid edge point clouds of the unworn area. The rigid edge point clouds are then spatially registered with the key component's reference model coordinates. The system uses an iterative nearest-point algorithm or a normal distribution transformation algorithm to perform the spatial registration operation, eliminating translational and rotational spatial deviations caused by the vibration of the scraper conveyor. After registration, the system compares the 3D coordinates of the target point cloud data points with the coordinates of the key component's reference model to calculate the vertical coordinate difference and generate surface indentation depth parameters. The system extracts surface parameters from the registered 3D point cloud data and stitches the surface parameters and surface indentation depth parameters to generate a geometric feature vector.

[0045] The system reads the lateral arrangement coordinates and spacing parameters of multiple giant magnetoresistive sensors in the micro-magnetic sensor array along the width of the scraper. Based on the lateral arrangement coordinates and spacing parameters, the system divides the coordinate system of the 3D point cloud data into multiple mapping data bands along the width of the scraper. The system extracts the corresponding surface indentation depth parameters in each mapping data band. Based on the lateral position index of the mapping data band, the system extracts the associated high-frequency damage signal of the corresponding channel in the micro-magnetic sensor array. Surface wear of key components causes changes in cross-sectional area and generates a leakage magnetic field baseline drift phenomenon. The system accesses the material calibration database and reads the magnetic shape coupling compensation coefficient corresponding to the material of the key component. The magnetic shape coupling compensation coefficient is obtained by the system scanning standard parts of the same material with known wear depths in advance and fitting the mapping relationship curve between the leakage magnetic field baseline drift and the wear depth. Based on the magnetic shape coupling compensation coefficient and the surface indentation depth parameters, the system performs inverse threshold compensation calculation on the high-frequency damage signal to generate a corrected high-frequency signal.

[0046] ; In the formula, This represents a correction of the high-frequency signal; Represents high-frequency damage signals; Represents the magnetic coupling compensation coefficient; This represents the depth parameter of the surface depression.

[0047] Among them, the magnetic coupling compensation coefficient The sign depends on whether the output characteristics and lift-off effect of the giant magnetoresistive sensor are positively or negatively correlated. Its engineering significance lies in compensating for the baseline offset of the leakage magnetic signal caused by surface depression to the reference level.

[0048] S7. The system reads the corrected high-frequency signal and sets the corresponding time-domain sliding window based on the frame rate period of the laser stripe image captured by the high-speed industrial camera. The system extracts the peak-to-peak value and root mean square value of the signal in each time-domain sliding window.

[0049] The system performs a discrete Fourier transform on the corrected high-frequency signal to generate a frequency domain data sequence. Based on the frequency domain data sequence, the system calculates the frequency energy parameters and center frequency parameters after the frequency domain transformation within a set frequency band. The system extracts the signal peak-to-peak value, signal root mean square value, amplitude gradient parameters, and the frequency energy parameters and center frequency parameters after the frequency domain transformation. The system then concatenates the signal peak-to-peak value, signal root mean square value, amplitude gradient parameters, frequency energy parameters, and center frequency parameters to generate a magnetic feature vector.

[0050] The system extracts geometric and magnetic feature vectors, reads the correlation mapping matrix to extract alignment coordinate data, and matches and merges geometric and magnetic feature vectors with the same absolute spatial coordinates based on the alignment coordinate data.

[0051] The system sets the magnetic signal weight coefficient and the point cloud weight coefficient. The system calculates the product of the magnetic feature vector and the magnetic signal weight coefficient to generate a weighted magnetic feature. The system calculates the product of the geometric feature vector and the point cloud weight coefficient to generate a weighted geometric feature. The system concatenates and splices the weighted magnetic feature and the weighted geometric feature to generate a joint feature vector.

[0052] ; In the formula, Represents the joint eigenvector; Represents the magnetic signal weighting coefficient; Represents the magnetic characteristic vector; Represents the point cloud weight coefficient; Represents the geometric characteristic vector.

[0053] S8. The system extracts the joint feature vector and constructs a pre-set damage classification model, specifically a support vector machine (SVM) classification model. The system acquires sample data containing historical damage features and corresponding label data. The label data includes at least classification labels such as normal wear, matrix microcracks, plastic deformation, and chain breakage edges. The system inputs the sample data and label data into the SVM classification model to perform iterative training and generate a target SVM classification model. The system inputs the joint feature vector into the target SVM classification model. The target SVM classification model calls a kernel function to map the joint feature vector to a high-dimensional feature space and calculates the classification boundary bias value.

[0055] The system reads the damage classification results to determine the damage category of key components. The system combines the absolute spatial coordinates to generate a damage location mapping record. The system stores the damage location mapping record and the damage classification results in the database to complete damage identification and spatial positioning.

[0056] The system acquires sprocket rotation angle data collected by the rotary encoder. Based on the sprocket rotation angle data, the system calculates the cumulative number of sprocket rotations. The system reads the cumulative length of the polygonal pitch of a single sprocket rotation and the encoder's initial reference coordinates. The system extracts the absolute spatial position coordinates mapped to the damaged area. Based on the encoder's initial reference coordinates, the cumulative number of sprocket rotations, the cumulative length of the polygonal pitch of a single sprocket rotation, and the absolute spatial position coordinates, the system performs a linear superposition operation to generate global three-dimensional coordinates.

The parameter representing the cumulative length of the polygonal pitch of a single turn of the sprocket; Represents absolute spatial coordinates.

[0058] The system places an absolute position mark on the reference scraper of the scraper chain and sets up an associated zero-point identification sensor. When the zero-point identification sensor detects that the absolute position mark has passed, the system issues a zeroing command to record the cumulative number of rotations of the sprocket. Zeroing eliminates the cumulative error in global three-dimensional coordinates caused by the flexible stretching and mechanical wear of the scraper chain.

[0059] The system binds global spatial 3D coordinates with damage classification results to generate visualized damage location label data. The system then stores the visualized damage location label data in the database to complete the spatial location operation of the damage site.

[0074] Specific application examples: To further aid in understanding the specific implementation logic and working principle of the present invention, the following provides a specific application example and experimental verification effect based on a daily no-load inspection scenario of a scraper conveyor in a fully mechanized coal mining face.

[0075] In this application scenario, it is necessary to evaluate the wear and internal microcrack damage of key components of the scraper conveyor (such as scraper chains and sprockets) under complex working conditions, and at the same time verify the system's ability to correct for baseline drift of the micro-magnetic leakage field. To illustrate the data calculation and condition assessment process within the system, the following section will use the physical test parameters from the scenario to perform calculations in the data hub module and the fusion analysis module.

[0076] First, the system monitors the real-time operating current value of the scraper conveyor drive motor. The set no-load current threshold is known. Equal to 50A, the set time threshold Equals 20 seconds. During the inspection period, the system extracts the current real-time operating current value. The value is 42A, and the duration of this state is... It reached 25 seconds. Due to... and The logical condition is met: .

[0077] The system determines the trigger flag for no-load inspection status. If the value equals 1, it indicates that the scraper conveyor is in an unloaded inspection state and triggers the self-cleaning device and high-pressure air knife.

[0078] The next stage involves 3D point cloud data acquisition and processing. The baseline distance between the line laser and the high-speed industrial camera is also considered. The focal length of a high-speed industrial camera is 200mm. The length is 16mm. The system extracts the center pixel coordinates of a structured light fringe. Given the coordinates of the image center of a high-speed industrial camera (value 800),... The value is 500. The system calculates the three-dimensional spatial depth value mapped to the coordinates of the center pixel based on the principle of triangulation. : ; This three-dimensional spatial depth value is further converted into three-dimensional coordinates of key component surface points, which are used to extract surface depression depth parameters.

[0079] During the data fusion and coordinate registration stage, the system needs to calculate the absolute spatial coordinates. Given the three-dimensional coordinates of the initial geometrical anchor point. The corresponding one-dimensional running coordinate is 1000mm, the spatial distance between the starting geometric space anchor point and the ending geometric space anchor point. The time difference between the initial and final magnetic space anchor points is 500mm. The sampling timestamp is 0.5s. This is the time stamp of a high-frequency damage signal extracted. The time stamp data corresponding to the starting magnetic space anchor point is 1.2s. The time is 1.0s, and the mechanical assembly offset parameter is... The calibration value is 5mm. The average speed value of the system combined with the chain link operation ( Perform spatial mapping interpolation calculations: ; Due to surface wear of key components causing changes in cross-sectional area and resulting in baseline drift of the leakage magnetic field, the system extracts the surface indentation depth parameter at this absolute spatial location from the 3D point cloud. (Note: here) The depth of the depression (referring to the depth of the indentation) is 2.5 mm. The system reads the magnetic coupling compensation coefficient obtained from the material calibration database. The value is 10mV / mm. The system extracts the uncompensated high-frequency damage signal at this location. The value is 150mV, and a reverse threshold compensation calculation is performed to generate a corrected high-frequency signal. : ; Finally, spatial positioning is performed, based on the known initial reference coordinate parameters of the encoder. The parameter is 0mm, representing the cumulative number of rotations of the sprocket. The cumulative length parameter of the polygonal pitch of a single sprocket rotation is 50 revolutions. The value is 2000mm. The system is based on the previously calculated absolute spatial position coordinates. (1205mm), generate global three-dimensional coordinates One-dimensional expansion value: ; The system binds the coordinates to the damage classification results generated by the support vector machine model, thus completing the storage of the visualized damage location label data.

[0080] To demonstrate the effectiveness of the magnetic coupling compensation algorithm of the present invention, a comparative verification scenario was constructed using an experimental platform. This scenario simulated a scraper metal specimen with gradual surface concave wear and internal microcrack damage. The corrected high-frequency signal of the present invention was compared with the original uncompensated high-frequency damage signal, and corresponding operating condition charts were output.

[0081] The conclusions are as follows: Reference Appendix Figure 3 , attached Figure 3 The solid line represents the original high-frequency damage signal (without point cloud concavity parameter compensation), and the dashed line represents the corrected high-frequency signal after processing by the fusion system of this invention.

[0082] From the appendix Figure 3 As can be seen, the original high-frequency damage signal, within the spatial coordinate range of 20mm to 80mm, exhibits a significant leakage magnetic field baseline drift (displaying a raised, broad peak) due to the increased depth of the surface depression. This macroscopic morphological interference easily obscures the true microcrack damage features (sharp peaks) at 50mm, leading to misjudgments in subsequent feature extraction. However, the system of this invention accurately extracts the surface depression depth parameters using 3D point cloud data and performs inverse threshold compensation by incorporating the magnetic shape coupling compensation coefficient. The resulting corrected high-frequency signal eliminates the baseline drift caused by wear depressions, allowing microcrack features to be clearly exposed on the horizontal baseline. This invention's micromagnetic and 3D point cloud fusion system decouples morphological interference from material damage, improving the signal-to-noise ratio and accuracy of damage identification.
